Hattie H. Remington

Notes:

Thomas's birth at Mendon, MA, was recorded at Northbridge, MA.

Thomas & Susan also had a daughter born 5 May 1846 at Northbridge, MA. She would have been between Thomas and Leverett.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Thomas & Susan Remington, both age 27, are living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. With them are: Thomas A. 5, Leverett L. 3, Edwin F. 1; and Silas Smith 50, laborer.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Thomas Remington 38 RI, a mechanic, & his wife, Susan 38 CT, are still living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. Five children are in the household: Thomas A. 15, Leverett 13, Edwin F. 11, Hattie H. 8, & Charles P. 5. Also in the household is Edwin Carter 18 RI, a spinner. (Thomas was probably not b RI, though.)

In the 1870 Federal Census, Thomas is 48 MA, a machinist, and his wife Susan is 48 CT, still living at Northbridge. Their son Charles, 16 MA, a machinist's apprentice, is the only one of the siblings at home with their parents.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Thomas M. & Susan, both 58, are still at Northbridge. They are living on Church St., Whitinsville, MA. Thomas is still a machinist. Also with them is Mary C. Remington, 54, "cousin." She is probably Mary Catherine Remington, d/o John & Hannah (Southwick) Remington.

Thomas married Susan Miller 21 Feb 1844, Northbridge, MA. Susan (daughter of William Miller and Lucretia Williams) was born 1821, Norwich, CT; died 21 Feb 1897, MA; was buried , Pine Grove Cemetery, Northbridge, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Susan's birth year, 1821, is recorded at Northbridge, MA, but I am not certain whether she was born there. There is no precise date and no parents are named in the record. Son Charles's birth record gives her birthplace as Norwich, CT.

In the 1830 Federal Census, Benedict is residing at Northbridge, Worcester County, MA. He is still there in 1850, with his wife Mary and two daughters -- Margaret & Sarah, and daughter-in-law Lydia M. In the 1860 census, Benedict & Mary are ages 61 & 62, still residing at Northbridge. Their daughter Sarah L., age 24, is with them

The name on his gravestone reads Benedick Remington.

Benedict married Mary Ann Cathcart Abt Jun 1818, Mendon, MA. Mary (daughter of Jonathan Cathcart and Margaret Peggy Gaul) was born Abt Mar 1798, Nantucket, MA; died 16 Jun 1869, Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA; was buried , Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her gravestone reads, Mary A. Remington, wife of Benedick, died 16 June 1869 at age 71 y 3 m 13 d.

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington's chart has the date of marriage as 4 June 1815. However, if that is correct, Benedict would have been only 15 years old! Perhaps the 8 was misread for a 5.

William — Lucretia Williams. [Group Sheet]

Benedict was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. According to BSR, he lived in Newport and Smithfield, RI.

His place of birth, Jamestown, was obtained from the death record of his son John. His marriage record in 1780 identifies him as being of Smithfield, and son of John & Mary, of Jamestown.

In the Federal Census of 1800, "Benedic Remmington" is listed in the 2nd Parish at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA.

RI American of 21 Dec 1819, death notice: "Remington, Benedict, at Pawtuxet, in 64th yr." (Did he die at Mendon, MA, or Pawtuxet, RI? I think he probably died in Mendon, MA, and that the newspaper was in error -- needs more research to confirm.)

The Battey Family Papers give his date of death as 9 Dec 1819.

Benedict married Ruth Southwick 5 Oct 1780, Smithfield, RI. Ruth (daughter of Daniel Southwick, III and Ruth Mussey) was born 20 Mar 1755, Mendon, MA; died 10 Jun 1813, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]
